@garnastoreca: I did a very boring experiment in my kitchen. Which, unfortunately, is exactly my kind of entertainment. 😄 I left an apple on the counter and watched what happened over the next few days. Then our furnace started coming on. And that was when the difference became really easy to see. Now — obviously — an apple is not human skin. I am not about to build a skincare theory around fruit. But it is a very good visual reminder of something we forget every fall: sometimes the thing that changed isn’t your skin. It’s your environment. The air inside our homes gets much drier once heating season begins. And around that same time I start hearing familiar things: “My face suddenly feels tight.” “My usual routine doesn’t feel the same.” “Why am I dry and oily at the same time?” And naturally the first thought is: I need new skincare. Maybe. But before replacing half your bathroom, I would look at the room first. Check the humidity. Turn on the humidifier. And then see whether your routine actually needs changing. I make skincare for a living, so perhaps this is a questionable sales strategy. But I would still rather sell you one bottle you actually need than four because September scared you. 😄 Has your furnace started coming on yet?
